Do Yourself a Favor... and Walk the Plank.

There's a new blog on the block and its name is Bob Walk the Plank. I know that a lot of you guys are into baseball cards... and that's exactly what Matt covers on his blog. In a few days he'll be celebrating his one month anniversary and I'm really enjoying all of his Pittsburgh Piratesposts.Like many of us, he started a blog in hopes of interacting with collectors as well as finding trade partners. If you're looking for baseball and football autographs or memorabilia cards, then I encourage you to check out his trade bait. Even if you're not interested in trading, I highly recommend you heading over there to check out his blog.Two weeks ago, he told me he wanted to send me a "goodie bag", so we exchanged addresses and "wow" did he deliver. See for yourself:

Usually I'd save the best for last. But I was so stoked to receive this Yoenis Cespedesautograph, I wanted it to be the image everyone saw first. The Oakland A's aren't really known for their superstars. But if I had to pick a guy on their roster with the potential to be one, it would be him.In addition to the autograph, Matt also threw in these Yoeniscards:

I absolutely love the 71T and Tall Boys minis. Next up, the boys on 'roids... The Bash Brothers:

And here's another one of those awesome 2013 Topps Archives Mini Tall Boysinserts. I present to you The Bash Brothers'teammate and the 1989 World Series MVP:

And wrapping up the awesome Oakland A's "goodie bag", here are pair of inserts of another World Series MVP... Mr. October, himself:

Oh wait... I almost forgot. He also sent me my firstHisashi Iwakumarelic card for my Japanese PC:

Thanks Matt! That's one of the most generous "goodie bags" I've ever received.

About Me

I've been collecting cardboard off and on since the early 80's. I'm presently collecting. But who knows what the future holds in store for me.
One thing is for certain... I'll have my blog to help relive some of my favorite hobby moments.
